Marriage a la Mode: pl. 2

Bernard Baron after William Hogarth

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a cluttered, opulently decorated interior room. The room is richly decorated with ornate furniture, an intricately designed carpet, and detailed wall moldings. Various objects are scattered on the floor, including a book, musical instrument cases, and sheets of paper. The mantelpiece above the fireplace is crowded with decorative items and is crowned with a painting featuring cherubic figures. The scene is filled with action and possibly humor, as suggested by the arrangement of furniture and items. This is in the style of William Hogarth.
